Pistons’ Blake Griffin snubs Clippers owner Steve Ballmer before game

LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin is all business in pregame warmups.

There’s not a lot of time for chit-chat – even for his former employer.

The Detroit Pistons star – preparing to face the Los Angeles Clippers for the first time at Staples Center since being traded a year ago – didn’t make time to speak with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who was waiting for Griffin to conclude his warmup routine.

The Athletic’s Jovan Buha reported the development Saturday about an hour before the Pistons try to stop a four-game losing skid against a top Western Conference team.

Shortly after the scene witnessed by Buha, the Detroit Free Press witnessed Griffin sprint through a Staples Center hallway and into the visitor’s locker room – part of his normal routine.
